  When in Rome August 2, 2010
Written by keeves
This is a fantastic event preserved perfectly for posterity. King Crimson are clearly having a wonderful time throughout and play some of my favourite material, fantastic versions of Sheltering Sky, FXF and Red and a classic re-telling of 21CSM, which is certainly the best live version I have heard - I was laughing through tears at the sheer blast of nostalgia - quite, quite overwhelming. Adrian sang and performed this just perfectly, he is a joy to listen to at any time but here, I feel he has outperformed even the great Greg Lake. Love it to bits! Rome hasn’t had a shake up like this since the Battle of Allia!

I saw KC three times in Rome and this was, by far, the best concert I’ve seen. It was energic, terrific, the wall of sound they created was amazing and You should hear from the tape... Gorgeous moments, I miss those KC’s days !!!

I’m floored... AGAIN. Held down by a force great enough to overwhelm & saturate my emotions so substantially it’s not only going to take time to escape this ’legless’ feeling but the recovery process may require the advice & close monitoring of a doctor.
Along with the usual suspects, Indiscipline is striKINGly obese. With a clear & well balanced mix, there are simply no dull moments in this entire performance. This Crimson presents such variety and the appearance of a new ’96 show is a warm addition to the ever growing FLAC storage locker ...
Listening right now to this VROOOM VROOOM for the 15th [plus] time I still shake my head in appreciation while wiping away tears of joy!

I thought I had met my quota of Double Trio shows, but the previews hinted at a raw power behind this show. I was pleased by harder edge of this show compared to many of the ’95 Double Trio outings I have downloaded. Red, LTIAII, VROOOM, VROOOM VROOOM, and Schizoid all benefit from the increased aggression. The presence of "The Sheltering Sky" is an added bonus, as it is one of my favorite 80s era Crim offerings and lacking in my live collection.
I went back and listened to a few pieces from ’95 and ’96 and it confirmed my feeling that the ’96 shows sounded much heavier, aggressive, and harder edged than the ’95 shows. I don’t know why, but the difference is noticeable and may be the result of the band settling in to touring and becoming familiar with each other.

Fond memories July 19, 2010

I certainly could not miss this release, since I was in the first row at the "Centralino" that evening [see my ticket on the pics section :-)]. This was also my very first KC concert.
Having not yet seen any videos of the Double Trio at the time, you can imagine how I was blown away by the set. Among my countless fond memories: an impeccable California Guitar Trio opening; the stunning (and then completely unexpected) Conundrum at the very beginning; RF resuming mustaches & beard; seeing Ade drilling his Fender on THRAK for the very first time; Schizoid as final encore (also unpredictable)... After the show I bought my copy of THRaKaTTaK; was it Sid keeping the merchandise desk? I’m not sure! Glad you liked it. I think Mister Stormy put this concert up after your suggestion. Not me on the merch - it must have been some other fat, bald bloke! Sid
